Miguel Oliveira with little or no margin for mistakes at this Japan GP

Francesco Bagnaia arrives at Motegi with the purpose of getting closer to the conquest of the Moto2 world title. At the Thailand GP, the italian reached the top of the podium after crossing the finish line in first place, already isolated from Luca Marini and Miguel Oliveira.

Thanks to that, the pupil of Valentino Rossi has widened his gap to Oliveira, who in turn is 28 points behind after third place in Buriram. Now it is practically imperative for the Almada rider to overtake his opponent if the goal is to win the championship. Opportunities are starting to dissipate regardless of whether these last track are to the liking of the portuguese.

Recently Brad Binder has been away from the usual sixth place that several times achieved throughout this year. In Aragon it was first and in Thailand finished fourth, reason why in Japan the south african can discuss the victory.

Lorenzo Baldassarri didn’t score in the last race but that doesn’t leave the italian out of the fight for the first place dispute. Rossi’s pupil has already won four podium finishes this year and this weekend he could repeat the achievement. Álex Márquez is currently in fifth place but six points less than Baldassarri, the brother of Marc Márquez could disrupt the accounts of the championship bearing in mind that he won the japanese GP last year.
